J CORRESPONDENCE
. Crestoa Celesratisn.
Creston, Nob. (Correspondence. )
- The celebration at Creston was a com
plete success in every detail. Never at
any previous time on any occasion,
have such crowds thronged the streets.
It is estimated that fnUy 4.000 peoplo
came and stayed till the last do was
hang. The morning of the Fourth
.was nearly cloudless and the day con
tinued fine throughout until aboat 1
o'clock the next morning when it
started to rain breaking up the bowery
. danco. Everybody was in good spirits
and seemed to liave made up their
minds previously that nothing should
occur to mar the happiness of .the day.
- There was positively no danger of
anybody oversleeping on the morning
of the 4th in Creston, as shot and shell
were screaming at 4 o'clock a. at. from
the guns of Co. K of Madison. Those
who slopj after that hour werw either
dead or cut of town. Company P of
Madison aader command of Captain
Oagaer. worked hard to keep things
lively and helped to amuse the people
throughout the day. We wish to say
right hero that we never saw a more
gentlemanly and well behaved set of
soldiers. Their drill was good as was
also tho sham battle in the evening.
The music rendered by the Oldenbasch
band at intervals during the day was
good and very macn appreciated.
The business men and their clerks
also those running stands of all kinds
were kept basy waiting on the wants
of their good natured patrons who
spent their money liberally. We did
not hear one cross word during the
day. The ball game in the afternoon
attracted the whole crowd oat to the
diamond, the game being between
Humphrey and Creston. Both teams
played good 'ball. Evidently Hump
hrey had determined to win the game,
as they came "primed" for the Cres
ton boys, probably realizing that the
regular Humphrey team woald have
ao show on earth against tho regular
Crestoa team. But there being no
bets on the came, the Crestonites
- were good natured and allowed them
to get all the importations they wanted
The "slim" street procefsion headed
by Brace Webb as marsliall of the day
wh a sight for sore eyes. The pro
cession of fifty or more elaborately
decorated wagons was simply grand.
It: would have done credit to any big
- parade in any city. Creston appreci
ated tho way the "slims" turned
out, and half tho success of the day
is attributed to the zeal and energy of
the farmers of "Slim Street". God
bless yon "slims". May you never
get fat, if by so doing you lose xyonr
taste for the brautifuL Many times
during the day such remarks as the
following were heard, "By thunder
the country parade was fine". Gee
wasn't 'slim Street' right ia the push.
The program of the day was as fol
lows: 4:00 a.m., salute by Co. F. of
Madison; 10:00 am , Parade, to
gether with the "Slim Street" turn
out reaching eleven blocks; 11 :00 a.m.
speaking by Rev. Philips in bowery;

The streets were crowded till mid

Crestonites. There were.several busi

CAST0FF CLOTHING.
It PAYS TO 8EARCH THE POCKETS
AND THE LININGS.
Calaa aaa Letters Hare a War

"One can't buy castoff clothing for
many -yean without meeting some
queer experiences," remarked an "old
clothes man" the other day as be fum
bled through the pockets of a suit
which he hnd just purchased for 50
cents. "Of course I don't expect to
find-anything nothing except maybe
some old letters. But it pays to. run
through the pockets and feel the lin
ing. If a man who lets his wife sell
bis castoff clothes only kuew what
got lost in the lining of bis coat some
times be wouldn't feel so easy about
parting with them. A man sticks im
portant letters in bis inside coat pock
et, and some day when he wants them
they are not there. He bunts and
fumes around, but the letters don't
turn up. Then he thinks they mast
have been torn up or burned, r.nd he
forgets the matter.
"But important letters don't go that
way generally. They turn up some
times to accuse a man. They find their
way between the lining of the coat or
vest, and we fellows get hold of them.
If I wanted to go Into the blackmail
ing business I could make plenty of
money. I've found letters and papers
In castoff clothing that would make
pretty startling reading for some peo
ple. Of course when we get the clothes
by hunting up the address, in the di
rectory we can locate either tho writer
or the one receiving it
"I don't think that, as a rule, women
sell their husbands' castoff clothing
any more without going through all
their pockets. Maybe they've got Into
the habit of searching them so that It
becomes n second nature to tbem. So
It is, not in the pockets we find things.
It's in, the lining, where they have
found their way gradually.
"You know how easy it is for small
coins to work their way through a hole
In the lining of a vest and snuggle
down in the corner of the cloth. Well.
we pick up quite a number of dimes
and nickels in this way. Usually a
vest Is a small silver mine. Probably
the wife of a 'man feels something
there and thinks it is only a button or
some such thing, or maybe a penny,
and she won't bother in trying to fish'
it ont But pennies don't work down
there nearly as readily as the dimes do.
"In the same way a bill will get mix
ed up in the lining of the inside pocket
and finally disappear. The man prob
ably misses a five or ten dollar bill
and thinks be must have lost it or
spent it foolishly. The matter escapes
his mind, the suit is thrown to one side
and some day it Is sold to the 'old
clothes man.' It doesn't escape us.
We go through every inch of the lining
and examine the corners and inside
carefully. The bills we find In the
course of a day will often more than
pay us for what we have given for all
of the clothes.
"Many men are extravagant in get
ting rid of their castoff clothing. They
have so many that they become a nui
sance to them. Sell them to the first
man who comes along is the easiest
way for them to dispose of their use
less belongings. If the servants don't
take them, we(get a fine pick at tbem.
For from 50 cents to a. dollar you get
a suit that will when brushed, steam
ed, cleaned and pressed easily bring
S3 to $5. The clothes are not worn
much, but just soiled and mussed a lit
tle. The trousers are stretched a little
so they will bag at the knees iwnen
used a few days at a time. A man
with plenty of money won't stand that.
He will order bis wife or valet to sell
them.
"The greatest amount I ever found
In money in one coat was a ten dollar
bill, but several times I've found two
and five dollar bills and one dollar bills
by the score. Once I found a check
for $100. but as that was no good to
mo I returned It to the owner and re
ceived a dollar reward for my honesty.
The best find, however, was several
years ago. when I discovered a bunch
of railroad coupons between the lining
and inside cloth of one of these fancy
vests. I suppose I might bare cashed
the coupons and received $1,000 for
them, but there was some risk to such
a proceeding. So I concluded to turn
them over to the owner and trust to
his generosity. He gave me $100 In
bills and commended me for my hon
esty. He bad missed the coupons and
had advertised for tbem. Later I
found that he had offered a reward of
$300 for their return. Yon can bet I
was mad then that I didn't get more
for returning them.
"As for important letters. .1 might
say that they come to us in droves.
Generally we read them and chuck
them in the fire. It's the best way. If
a man has lost a letter which would
incriminate him be doesn't like to have
it turn np. It will always worry him a
little, but be lives In the hope that it is
lost for good and graduallyfbrgets it"
